Freshy Made Sketches #120

Hi everyone,

Happy Hump Day! :)

We have some one weird weather over here in Germany.Still didn't had any snow.Well...one day and that was at the beginning of December.It's not even very cold.But i am pretty sure we will be getting snow soon,and i know by now that i'll hate it!! ;) I like snow...on the 24th,25th and 26th of December,but anything later than that is expendable. ;)

Ok,today i'de like to welcome you to our new Freshy Made Sketches #120 Challenge!!
Our host today is Rita,and she has an awesome Sketch for us all.I am such a huge fan of banners...i think i will always love it,i never seem to get tired of anything banner shaped!!

Before i'll show my card,i'de like to thank everyone who partipated in our last Challenge!
I was so happy and proud to see so many play along!! Thank you! :)


I recently got my first Stamps by Lawn Fawn.Most of you'll be like "WHAT...what's wrong with you...how can you wait for soooo long"??!! hehe
It's most likely a money question.I just don't like to order 1 or 2 stamp sets from the USA.Because most of the time,the shipping will be higher than the products itselfs.
And now,my favorite German online Store has stocked up on Lawn Fawn.Even though i might pay a few $ more for a Set,i still know i'll get them like 2 days later.And shipping from the USA sometimes takes weeks.
Well...i know my little guy doesn't look like a Yeti...but hey...it's a rare find!! :D

We belong together

Hi everyone,

Happy Saturday to you all! :)

I got my new Clearly Besotted goodies yesterday!! :) Love their new release!
So of course i had to make a card for their new Challenge with the theme "Love"!

I took the photo of the card on my window today with natural light..I usualy use my light from my desk. I never use flash...but for some reason no matter where i take the pics,i just don't like how they turn out.Whenever i see everyones pics taken with natural light,i am in awww...i just can't get it to work!! Pfff Well...enough of crying around!! :D

Here is my card,using Clearly Besotted's "Up in the Air" Stamps and Dies and "Key to my Heart" Stamps.
